I watched a youtube video demo of this sharpener. It looks like this was made for only a right hander. Can a left hander use this?

I just got mine out and physically checked. YUP! Completely ambidextrous, just flip it around.

I am left handed and use it for sharpening almost anything. Simply flip the base around so you hold it with your right, the knife in your left. It works!

Yes. You can flip it around so whichever hand you prefer is holding the knife.

UMMM turn it around...let me try left handed, Wait a second... oh shit call a doctor...NO it works just fine left handed!!!!!

No, the one I bought is right hand only. You might check to see if you can order the same reel but with a left hand presentation. If they don't, you might consider a spinning reel because most of them can convert to right or left hand use. Hope this helps!

If working properly, I don't see why a lefty couldn't use it. I'm not convinced that this product will work easily long term. Kinda of a poorly designed product overall

It does not appear that this unit could be used by a left handed person. So sorry lefties!

I purchased a left handed one. You might have to select which hand it is for it has been awhile since I ordered it.

Im left handed and i can use them just fine and i always have trouble using specialty utencils. The scissors are for the righties though. Also keep your hand on the handles because even the top part (which i thought would be dull like most other knives) are very sharp. Sliced my fingers a couple times with out knowing. I would also recommend buying a carrier for this set like i did because keeping them in a kitchen drawer with your other stuff isnt the best idea either. Barely grazed against one just to get another utensil and got cut. Needless to say these are the best knives i have ever had.

I'm right handed, but I sorta tested it for you and it seemed very flexible. It is definitely made for right handed people but I think you could easily use it left handed due to it's flexibility. Hope that helps.

There is an art to sharpening colored pencils with a hand sharpener. It's very easy to break the tip. As manual sharpeners go, this is one of the better ones. But like all of them, it dulls pretty quickly. It's worth the few bucks I paid for it and I would buy it again. Hope this answers your question.

Yes, this sharpener scratched both sides of my Ikons with each pass. I returned the sharpener.

Although it's a single-edged knife (I despise chisel grind knives), you can sharpen both sides if you choose. I think any blade cuts better if it's sharpened on both sides, especially if you're right-handed. Most chisel grind knives cut great if you're left handed, because the sharpened side is on the left. But with this big mamma, you have nothing to worry about. Paper sheets seem to cut before the blade even touches them! A person would have to be insane to mess with you if you have one of these. And they do a great job cutting.

I spoke with our technician and the electric chainsaw sharpener can turn 10 degrees to the right or left. I do not have any information on the length of time it would take to sharpen the blade but the technician did say that the sharpening stone is up against the steel blade. Let us know if you have any other questions.

Unfortunately, I'm right handed, but I'm a teacher who works with teaching kids to write. My take on this nib is that a left hander could use it easily enough, but it lays down a LOT of ink, and depending how you were trained to hold a pen/pencil, you may end up with a constant smear on your paper and the heel of your hand. Try buying a pen with a finer nib like a Platinum Preppy. But since the price of this pen is low, it might be a good place to start...

The question you should ask is will it sharpen it correctly and with the desired result. Yes on both accounts. Like most tools, the more you use the quicker it is.

Its set up for right handed people. If you use your left I imagine it will be like anything else you use.

It is designed like a spatula, so works that way for either. But the straight/cutting edge seems would be best for right handed, not sure if it would be awkward for leftys. it is exactly as the picture depicts. Also, it is a very heavy wt commercial grade feeling tool. I love mine and use it quite often for many things. I was very surprised at the excellent quality. Hope this helps.

I believe so. Although I am a right handed person, I do not see any problems using the knives either by right or left hands.
